Staphylococcus aureus delays wound repair by harnessing the agr quorum sensing system to target keratinocyte lipid metabolism [bulkRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: NHEKs wounded by scratch and incubated with CM for 24 hours were evaluated by bulk RNAseq. Principal component analysis of these data revealed wounded NHEKs exposed to S. hominis products clustered close to control keratinocytes, suggesting these groups have similar transcriptomes, while the presence of S. aureus products caused variation shift in the transcriptome to result in a distinct cluster away from control. This was supported by a heatmap of differential gene expression of S. aureus and S. hominis CM treatment showing broad S. aureus-mediated suppression of genes induced by S. hominis. Conversely, upregulation of many genes by S. aureus were downregulated by S. hominis.

The ubiquitous human skin commensal Staphylococcus hominis protects against opportunistic pathogens

Project description:Staphylococcus hominis is frequently isolated from human skin and we hypothesize that it may protect the cutaneous barrier from opportunistic pathogens. We determined that S. hominis makes six unique auto inducing peptide (AIP) signals that inhibit the major virulence factor accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum sensing system of Staphylococcus aureus. We solved and confirmed the structures of three novel AIP signals in conditioned media by mass spectrometry, then validated synthetic AIP activity against all S. aureus agr classes. Synthetic AIPs also inhibited the conserved agr system in a related species, Staphylococcus epidermidis. We determined the distribution of S. hominis agr types on healthy human skin and found S. hominis agr-I and agr-II were highly represented across subjects. Further, synthetic AIP-II was protective in vivo against S. aureus-associated dermonecrotic or epicutaneous injury. Together, these findings demonstrate that a ubiquitous colonizer of human skin has a fundamentally protective role against opportunistic damage.

Comparison of Agr-regulated virulence factor expression in FRI1169 and non-hemolytic variant

Project description:These cultures were grown to examine the differences in Agr-regulated virulence factor gene expression between wild-type S. aureus FRI1169 and a non-hemolytic variant isolated from a biofilm inoculated with FRI1169. The study is described more thoroughly in the paper "Generation of virulence factor variants in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms", Yarwood et al., J. Bacteriol. 2007.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene regulation by Staphylococcus aureus supernatant or added secreted products

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are often co-isolated in persistent infections. The goal of this study was to determine how secreted products that were identified in S. aureus supernatant affect gene expression in P. aeruginosa. Therefore, media control, the indicated products in media, or S. aureus supernatant was added to P. aeruginosa cultures at 25% total volume and gene expression was measured at 20 min and 2 h using RNA-seq. The individual products induced distinct pathways in P. aeruginosa. The products in combination recapitulated much of the differential gene expression seen in P. aeruginosa in response to S. aureus supernatant.

A point mutation in the agr locus caused previously reported phenotypes in Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia

Project description:The role of Pantonâ??Valentine leukocidin (PVL) in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is controversial. Here, we show that an unintended point mutation in the agr P2 promoter of S.aureus caused the phenotypes in gene regulation and murine pneumonia attributed to PVL by Labandeiraâ??Rey et al. (Science 315:1130â??3, 2007). In agreement with previous studies that failed to detect similar effects of PVL using communityâ??associated methicillinâ??resistant S. aureus strains, we found no significant impact of PVL on gene expression or pathogenesis after we repaired the mutation. These findings further contribute to the idea that PVL does not have a major impact on S. aureus pathogenesis and resolve debate about its role in murine infection models. Moreover, our results demonstrate that a single nucleotide polymorphism in an intergenic region can dramatically impact bacterial physiology and virulence. Finally, our work emphasizes the need to frequently evaluate the integrity of the S. aureus agr locus. 7 hour growth, with 5 different strain comparisons

A point mutation in the agr locus caused previously reported phenotypes in Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia

Evolution of virulence control by the staphylococcal agr quorum-sensing regulator

Project description:The Staphylococcus aureus accessory gene regulator (agr) is a prototype quorum-sensing system in Gram-positive bacteria and a paradigmatic example of gene regulation by a small regulatory RNA, RNAIII. Using genome-wide transcriptional profiling in the community-associated methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) strain MW2, we demonstrate here that in contrast to the current model of target gene regulation by agr, a large subset of agr-regulated genes is controlled independently of RNAIII. This group comprised predominantly metabolism genes, whereas virulence factors were mostly controlled by RNAIII. Remarkably, the phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) leukocidin genes were the only virulence determinants under RNAIII-independent control, emphasizing their exceptional role in S. aureus physiology and pathogenesis. Of note, PSM promoters bound the AgrA response regulator protein, previously believed to interact exclusively with agr promoters, explaining the exceptionally strict control of PSMs by agr. Our results suggest that virulence factor control is a secondary acquisition of the agr regulon, which evolved by development of RNAIII around the mRNA of the PSM d-toxin, exemplifying how gene control via a small regulatory RNA may be linked to a pre-established regulatory circuit. In addition to elucidating agr control in CA-MRSA, which revealed features potentially crucial for CA-MRSA pathogenesis, our study establishes a novel two-level model of cell-density dependent gene regulation in S. aureus and gives important insight into the connection of metabolism and virulence control in this leading opportunistic pathogen.
